Use of intravascular lithotripsy in non-coronary artery lesions.

Background: Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel technique increasingly used for plaque modification and endovascular revascularization in patients with severe calcification and peripheral artery disease. However, much of the available literature on IVL is focused on its use in coronary arteries, with relatively limited data on non-coronary artery use.

Aim: To analyze the safety and efficacy of current IVL use in non-coronary artery lesions, as reported in case reports and case series.
